MAKING MY BOOK COVER WALL-HANGING [CC] || Vlog #16

[@butterflywitch]

As someone who loves books but doesn't read as much as she should, I always love hearing about your thoughts on series etc. It's so refreshing and you've inspired me to start reading again. I've also brought the planner too!! ❤

[@MashaKnots]

I’m really happy to hear that! I’ll continue talking about them in my vlogs!

[@ClauBearFusion]

I genuinely like your synopsis of the books. As someone who is not as avid a reader, I like that personal feedback so I know what to spend my time on. Honestly don't think you need to change anything about your book segment. Love everything that you do; you're the reason my passion with bracelet making has stayed so strong!

[@Kcynya]

I just love listening to whatever you decide to share with us, I am not really into young adult or modern literature in general so it's really exciting for me to get to know some of those books and maybe try something new) Your vlogs always feel like listening to a friend during a phone call, so just keep doing what you love 💜

[@annarose9245]

You are so talented! My brain simply can not comprehend how you make these pieces of art. I truly look up to your work and I have learned so many amazing bracelet patterns from you. You impress me so much and I hope you continue to make great work❤

[@MashaKnots]

Aw thank you so much, this is such a lovely comment!

[@lydiaherr7175]

that wall hanging turned out so good! i’m the type of person that i love to knot along while listening to your videos even though i don’t read or have any care about books i just love knotting to your videos ❤

[@You12358]

I saw that pattern and I thought it was so cool!!

[@minute_craft1256]

I care about books. I like hearing what they’re about and what you like or don’t like about them (they help me decide whether to read a certain book/series or not).

[@elise3412]

Love this idea ! 💗

[@tegsalise]

That is awesome!! 😮❤

[@imkestrijbosch5571]

I love your videos you give me inspiration/motivation to keep going

[@emmmmas]

I have been tracking my bracelets since I started making them! I track the "name" (in the case of alphas where I want to have a general idea of what I made), the dates I started/finished, if it's finished or unfinished, who currently has it (I might've given it away), and the pattern #. Also, yes, please tell us what the books are about! I'm a reader but not that serious (school and stuff gets in the way sometimes), and sometimes I have no clue what the books are about and I like to have a general idea before I get them :)

[@mbraceletm]

This is amaaaazing 🎉 I love the idea ❤

[@cori4727]

It's sooooo interesting to me how two people can have such different reading experiences! I thought Throne Of Glass and Crown Of Midnight were both terrible. I'm one of the people who says it picks up at Heir Of Fire. I loved the series by the end. I thought Kingdom Of Ash was a masterpiece. I normally drive or make bracelets or do chores while listening to audiobooks, but I legit just lay on my bed for 3 hours straight listening to Kingdom Of Ash when I was reading it! I thought it was soooo wildly fun and entertaining, like I genuinely cannot comprehend how you thought it was boring! So fascinating honestly! Oh well! I hope you enjoy your next reads more!!

[@MashaKnots]

Fascinates me as well! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Definitely wasn't a bad book, just wasn't for me

[@Joniness]

great job on the wall-hanging! what knots are you doing at 3:55?

[@xMonsti]

LOVE the reading data haha now I'm surprised that that's not something I do (yet)

[@topiashyttinen2610]

omg that is so beatifull😍💅

[@yehudisr1692]

Love! I haven't knotted in so long *sigh* What thread do you use for your base strings?

[@annagerlach1981]

i was literally just thinking that i want more context about the books you talk about when you mentioned it! please do include introductions and more detailed opinions if you feel like it. i do read a bit but i’ve honestly just liked keeping up with you for the last 4 years, so i watch every minute of all your videos!

[@livlovesg.6612]

I like little pitches for the basic plot of the books, but they don’t have to be super detailed just basic ideas

[@clara7971]

Hi! How do you do it so that your base threads do not get tangled?

[@audreysnyder6272]

You should just read the summary on the book so we can get the general idea. Also are you gonna rank the bracelets for this year? Please do!!!

[@MashaKnots]

Yep, it’s already filmed! It’s the next video to come out :)

[@chloeharrington1478]

Can you elaborate about how you tab your books and why you tab them? I've never really understood that. Is there a purpose or is it just for fun? Thank you!

[@MashaKnots]

I think everyone has their own reasons. I just tab bits that I like or maybe find funny or heartwarming. Things I’d like to reread at some point when I’m reminiscing over a book. Plot twists too or sometimes just beautiful writing

[@neoralka25]

Мега -проект!!! С наступающим!

[@livgonzalez1246]

how to you measure ur base strings? mine are always super long or they are really short at the end

[@lofa852]

Would you be able to link a blank copy of your bracelet tracker spreadsheet? I would love to use it or make my own

[@MashaKnots]

I will eventually when I refine it, for now it’s just columns that are labelled, there’s no special formulas

[@shelby6398]

Hi! I'm sorry to bother but I'd love to know where to find these patterns. I've been searching for quite a while but I can't seem to find them at all

[@MashaKnots]

BraceletBook! I also always link to patterns in the description :)

[@shelby6398]

@@MashaKnots thank you so much! Also happy Christmas!

[@corylcreates]

Sigh, Maas... I read the first book in Throne of Glass, thought about reading the second one, and instead of reading it, I just looked up a synopsis and decided I was not interested in the series at all. Maybe it's because I tried to start reading them when I was like 25? And I've really outgrown the type of books Throne of Glass is by now. I read the ACOTAR series as well when I was ~21 and it was entertaining, but now I just read adult romance instead of an upper teen/"new adult" romance. I've read a lot of books and have been reading for a long time, so Maas just isn't my taste. I think she's this YA generation of Stephenie Meyer: a gateway author to get people interested in reading. (Admittedly, the Twilight series is an entertaining re-read now, but I was really into them when I was 14! Not to the degree that some fans were, but still enjoyed them.) Lots of people have gotten into reading because of ACOTAR and Throne of Glass; that's not a bad thing and it's okay to dislike popular books. I'm looking for more adult fantasy now, so if you end up reading some, please post the recs! I've seen other vloggers do bookvlogs/reading vlogs to update people on what they're reading.

No doubt in my mind that you’re a virgo

[@MashaKnots]

Haha I’m an Aries 😜
